Challenges that we will face during the race

Besides the daily struggles of fatigue and sleep deprivation, we will need to overcome salt sores, being constantly wet, eating all our meals out of a bag, the blistering sun with no shade available, marine life encounters and the monotony of oar stroke after oar stroke. But knowing we have the support and the backing of so many people will drive us every stroke of the way.
